Traditional automation replaced tasks. We're replacing the need for necessary work entirely.
Our world runs on human knowledge and skill. But knowledge gets lost, skills take years to develop, and humans are constrained by time. SOME-1 workers think, learn, and operate autonomously - handling everything from customer service to complex operations, 24/7
For decades, businesses have chased a simple dream: automating repetitive work. From basic scripts to complex RPA (Robotic Process Automation), we've tried to make machines mimic human actions. But here's the truth: mimicking isn't enough. Automation isn't the answer.
We need workers, not tools.
The Broken Promise of Automation
Traditional automation follows a simple pattern:
Watch humans do tasks
Record their actions
Create bots that repeat those actions
Hope nothing changes
But everything changes. Processes evolve. Systems update. Requirements shift. And when they do, these rigid automation tools break.
The result? Billions spent on "automation" that still requires constant human oversight.
Beyond Automation
At SOME-1, we're not building better automation. We're creating autonomous workers.
The difference?
Automation follows rules
Workers understand goals
Automation breaks with change
Workers adapt and learn
Automation needs oversight
Workers take ownership
Think about the difference between: "Click this, then that, then enter data here" vs. "Handle our customer service operation"
Why Now?
Three technological breakthroughs have made autonomous workers possible:
Advanced Language Models
Understanding context
Natural communication
Complex reasoning
Infinite Memory
Perfect recall
Continuous learning
Knowledge preservation
Autonomous Tools
Direct system control
Multi-channel operation
Real-world integration
The Market Reality
Traditional automation targets specific tasks, competing for the $2-300B automation market.
We're targeting the $42T global labor market.
Why? Because we're not selling tools. We're providing workers that:
Never sleep
Never forget
Never quit
Never stop improving
